Who can forget the Nike Air Kavorkians they were all wearing. Shoemaker Leavy 9 was cool as well!

Retro Day 3/5/24 Hopefully they make it till Tuesday. Thinking of going, my wife reminded me of my old stretch pants. I pulled them out of the closet and they fit… Barely. Nice memento attached. A ticket from Doe Mountains last day lol.

Up until a few weeks ago the long term looked cold. I think the quick pattern change caught the weather guys by surprise. I don’t see any below freezing temperatures from Saturday through Thursday sadly. This might be one of those years we get a huge storm end of March that melts in a few days.

That might be all that’s left this year. 🤮

2 runs down Barneys, the first one was without rain and the second with. First one was great and second which was the last before bailing not so much. I was amazed at how slick it got with just a few minutes worth. Did Coming soon Ditch twice which was awesome 4 runs but a lot nicer than expected. I was driving down Blue Mountain drive feeling a little disappointed but saw a bus inbound ,bad timing. I wasn’t planning on going up today but got a job done early. A couple places have dirt bleeding through but good coverage although the usual seasonal brown tint.

Just got an email they’re going to be closed tomorrow. Hopefully it’s not mush by the time I get there today.

Dude’s obviously a disgruntled park rat , look at the pants he’s wearing. A non riding Boomer wouldn’t know anything about Ikon. 😁

The “Time Team “ show is dedicated to excavations in England. They don’t always find a lot but the interactions between competing teams is entertaining.

Up north for other things but brought my skis . 4:30 - 2 runs and done, Main Street was ok but switch is ugly except for the sides . Clueless hoards blocking access to the valley 6 . Back during the week.

I wish it was January 🙃

I’ve blown off lots of work this week and it was totally worth it. Two mid winter mornings and today. Got to the mountain later than I wanted 1:45 but in time for Barneys to soften to perfection. First couple on Barneys 10/10 then hit Challenge and then Coming soon. They gave coming soon a whole lot of love. Besides the ditch being back there’s an upper ditch. Lots of new snow around the upper gun towers that have some fun ups and downs. Tons of racers on the mountain and a race on the school hill. The busses were rolling in like crazy. After spending the rest of the day on Barneys I bailed at 4:45 Nightmare is still a work in progress with a few cookies lol.

Sunny cold… 8:45 Made my way to the Quad and noticed the cattle chute. Ok …. There’s going to be some law and order today. Thought I was going to be first chair but someone in Orange blasted past lol, I figured he would head for Challenge but he went elsewhere. It was a bit disappointing later on to see the cattle out of control and cramming up to the front loading area on the quad and the line built up to the gates. The six had very little line to speak of. First tracks on Challenge was the best grooming I’ve seen all year. The icing on the cake was a couple inches of snow that drifted over from the fan gun up top. I think I hit my terminal velocity, but felt safe the whole time and was able to launch off the falls lip with just as good of grooming. Challenge was so good I kept lapping it then went to main street and a little bit of snow is drifted over from sleepy, hollow onto the bumps. Blue Balmer glade was also being blown. Fortunately , the roulette wheel of fate spared me and I didn’t get stuck in front of the gun on nightmare when the quad stopped for a good five minutes. Great day like C1 said.

Low angle stuff today, nice to be out. Farm field was a little wind blown with a crust 4” down so I couldn’t make full turns. Should have done this yesterday.

I debated behind my house, it’s 300 vertical and a road at the bottom. I cheated a couple years ago and had my wife pick me up 😁 There’s some really big rocks at the bottom. So I skipped this year….Unless we get some more next Saturday?
